Conceptual Massing REVIT CCP WORKSHOP 2 – CONCEPTUAL MASSING [email protected] WORKSHOP 2 – CONCEPTUAL MASSING This workshop will cover the basics of creating a Conceptual Mass family in Revit. This will be from the basic tool and shape creation to loading a Mass Family into your project and creating a building from it. We will also be looking at creating Mass Floors, Scheduling the floor areas of the mass that was created, solving the ‘Fish Scaling’ problem when creating curtain walls from Mass Family faces. This will include some basic adaptive component creation. There are two ways of creating a Conceptual Mass in Revit. One is to use the ‘In-Place Mass tool that is found under the Massing and Site tab in the Ribbon. This is use full for creating a conceptual mass that has or needs context. This could be existing buildings that are on or around the site already. The second way is to create a new ‘stand-alone’ mass Family. This would be created by going to the Revit Applications button. Expanding the New Family button and choosing Conceptual Mass. This method creates a Mass Family which is then loaded into your project and used as a frame on which the building is created.
